Parallels has the following product lifecycle strategy for Parallels Remote Application Server:
Major releases for Parallels Remote Application Server are issued yearly, from a maintenance and support perspective there are two types of versions:
- Long Term Supported (LTS) versions
- Non - LTS versions
Long Term Supported (LTS) versions:
To ensure an improved maintenance and support for our customers Parallels will release a Long Term Support (LTS) version periodically. This will mean a longer supported period for LTS versions.
Each LTS version will be supported for a total duration of 36 months (3 years), made up of 30 months of maintenance followed by an additional 6 months of support. LTS versions will be released in every other major release.
